The history of humanity is not a hotel where someone can rent a room whenever it suits him; nor is it a vehicle which we board or get out of at random. Our past will be for us a burden beneath which we can only collapse for as long as we refuse to understand the present and fight for a better future. Only then — but from that moment on — will the burden become a blessing, that is, a weapon in the battle for freedom.
Hannah Arendt

In proportion as men delight in battles, bullfights, and combats of gladiators, will they punish by hanging, burning, and the rack.
William Strunk, Jr.

I can't promise you that I will bring you all home alive.

Dead or alive, we will all come home together.
Hal Moore
